ideskMy desktop using openbox which doesn’t have desktop manager like nautilus that can manage desktop icons automatically. So i use idesk , an application that give you shortcut to your favourite applications, but this application can’t give shorcut to your flashdisk or give auto iconized desktop shorcut.

This will be for your favourite applications 🙂
so here is the simple installation and configs :

1. #pacman -S idesk
2. $cp /usr/share/idesk/dot.ideskrc ~/.ideskrc
3. $mkdir ~/.idesktop
4. $cd ~/.idesktop
5. here we wil make an application shorcut, $touch application-name.lnk (“LNK not INK , using caps lock to give the differences”). Ex: $touch firefox.lnk
6. $nano firefox.lnk
7. Copy this
table Icon
Caption: ApplicationNameToShow
Command: TheApplicationCommand
Icon: Icon of the applications
Width: Icon width
Height: Icon height
X: X location (start from top left)
Y: Y location (start from top left too)
end
8. If you want to add more application you can add the .lnk as many as you want.
9. For a good start, you can set your icon location start at 30*30 X*Y , and add 90 to every after it, 30*120 mean the       icon under the first start, 120*30 mean that the right of it. Then add the value to make another icons locations.
10. Beside that, some of tweak can edit through ~/.ideskrc
11. $nano ~/.ideskrc , many option or tweak you can set, like font color, font face, font color, and etc.
